Extraordinary place of contemporary art in a beautiful building. Hard to say what we liked more - the art, the building or the stunning place at the river Danube peninsula. Really worth to visit.

Very nice collection of contemporary art in a beautiful building and stunning location. The permanent collection is not exceptional but certainly worth a trip from Bratislava, and I really liked the temporary exhibition of Viktor Freso. The museum is financed by the Dutch tech businessman and art collector Gerard Meulensteen.

We ordered two flat white coffees and the waiter served us doppio with a milk claiming the froth suppose to be flat. But there was no forth at all, only cream. He admitted that barista thought him so (probably just recently) and it’s definitely as it suppose to be. I didn’t push it to return both coffees as I wanted to enjoy gallery and not argue with an idiot waiter. Of course they didn’t have a problem to charge us 6,8€ for 2 double espresso with a milk. If you want to charge top price, learn how to prepare it in a top quality. Typical Slovak crappy service.
Venue it self is nice, only spoiled with a low quality barista services and overpriced drinks.

Danubiana is really a special gallery - the greatest in Bratislava. Located on a peninsula of Danube, reachable by SpeedBoats.sk, it features astonishing exterior and interior exhibitions. Recommended.

Very nice gallery in a beautiful environment with absolutely misunderstood and untapped potential.
The gallery is located on the popular Bratislava-Gabcikovo cycle path, in the summer full of cyclists and skaters until dark. Management has been successfully ignoring this fact for years and even taking action against these potential visitors.
I will start with the opening hours, which were already limited from 19:00 to 18:00 at two years ago for incomprehensible reasons. In the summer season, at least 20:00 would be required.
Furthermore, it is the height of the one-time entrance fee, which turns countless random visitors right at the entrance.
There is only one small bicycle stand in the large parking lot in front of the building, absolutely unsuitable for mountain bikes. I don't understand if a sufficient number of proper stands, where the bike can also be locked, is an unmanageable investment.
At the end of the gallery, there is (was) a café with a terrace with free access to the outdoor area of the gallery. They didn't even open it this year. This is complete nonsense, to close the main object for which visitors come here and which they have always looked forward to. Giving visitors the whole area the only opportunity to refresh themselves, the gallery probably does not consider important. The gallery is probably not interested in economics either.
Recommendations for next season:
- Install enough proper bicycle stands / up to the height of the belt, with wide partitions /
- Change the opening hours in the summer season until 20:00
- Open the café and finally allow card payments in it (another nonsense encountered by visitors)
- Allow alternative entry, cyclists and skaters only to the outdoor area and café - free of charge, or for a low entrance fee, in which they will have, for example, 1 coffee or soft drink.

At the beginning, nobody understood why gallery was opened on such renote place. But it was a very good choice. Nice views fro gallery and contemplative place make it a right place to see when having a free half day.
Pros:
- very original concept
- interesting exhibitions
- not too overcrowded
Cons:
- as i mentioned, bit far from the downtown
